Hi all new to the 4x4, so go easy with me. i know this is a land rover forum and i do own a land rover 1.8 petrol :-( "I Know"
but i need a little advice, im looking at buying a range rover tp use off road and have found a cheapish one
Range Rover P38
Year 1996
Engine 3,950 cc
Petrol
it looks good, its a good price, but there is a small problem basicly the car fail its mot last year, which turned out to be a slipped block liner. Another Range Rover was purchased that was fitted with a genuine Land Rover re- conditioned engine. Engine then removed and fitted to this car along with a full exhaust system, Cats,clutch ,battery and air pump. it ran for while ok then was left over winter 2009/2010. when started last week it started but would not rev smoothly or at all but it ticks over ok.
Should i avoid it or could it be a simple fix any help would be great
Thanks in advance

bad when we got the land rover it only had 45000 miles 1 old lady owner from new the service history told us that the head had been done at 37000 and we have now done 57000, touch wood we never had no problems with it until she ran it out of petrol.
